Medical road ahead

"It's almost noon!"

After leaving Li Jing's ward, Qiao Tan glanced at the time on his watch and found that it was already 11:15.

"Seeing that you chatted so happily with them, I didn't interrupt."

After Nurse Xu smiled, she asked again: "Are you going back to the consultation room? I remember you still have a few outpatient appointments."

Qiao Tan shook his head and said, "I have to go to the surgical inpatient department. My dad recently cut off the toes of a patient suffering from vasculitis. He asked me to follow up on the nutritional treatment of that patient. It is said that That patient is a relative of Dr. Liu."

"Oh, then you go, I'll transfer you to other doctors from the outpatient department." Nurse Xu said thoughtfully.

"okay, thank you."

After Qiao Tan nodded his thanks to her, he went straight to the surgical inpatient department.

"Old Chen, this is Dr. Qiao from the Nutrition Department. She is also the daughter of the Dr. Qiao who operated on you. She is here to help you with nutrition therapy."

After arriving there, the nurse brought Qiao Tan to the patient's bed and explained to him the purpose of coming.

"Nutrition therapy? My nutrition is very good! You see, my arms and legs are very firm."

Old Chen looked confused, then patted his arm, then lifted the quilt and patted his thigh.

"puff!"

The nurse was amused by him, "Yes, yes, I know you are in good health, except that you don't have ten toes, everything about you is perfect."

"Go ahead, how about you, Doctor Liu? Always clean me up."

Old Chen glanced at the nurse, and then thanked Qiao Tan: "Thank you dad for cutting off my toes in time, which allowed me to keep the soles of my feet. Otherwise, without the soles, it would be like walking on stilts."

"It's nothing, this is my father's job."

Qiao Tan smiled, looked down at his feet still wrapped in gauze, and asked with concern, "Does the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just itching. I always want to scratch it." Lao Chen said truthfully.

The nurse immediately yelled: "This is impossible! It was hard to control the spread of necrosis. If you scratch it, it may cause the wound to become inflamed and then infected."

"Ouch! I'm just talking, how dare I really scratch it."

Lao Chen waved his hand, urging her to leave quickly, "Don't you have other patients to take care of? Hurry up, hurry up, I'll chat with Dr. Qiao slowly."

"Remember not to scratch the wound."

After exhorting him again, the nurse turned and left.

"Dr. Qiao, what do you mean by nutritional therapy?"

After the nurse left the ward, Lao Chen asked curiously.

Qiao Tan explained: "Generally speaking, patients with vasculitis are often accompanied by symptoms of nutritional imbalance. If the nutrition is not balanced, it may cause recurrence of the disease. Therefore, during the treatment period, in addition to taking medicine, you must also Increase nutrition to improve the body's recovery ability. In addition, you must also ensure that you sleep for 8 to 12 hours a day, and the longer the sleep time, the better the curative effect of the treatment. And, to prevent fatigue."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to lift off the quilt covered by Lao Chen's feet, and took a look at the temperature on his feet, "Affected feet need to be protected from both heat and freezing. Do not use heating appliances above 38 degrees Celsius for medical treatment." Heat it up to prevent pain and exacerbate necrosis. The air conditioner is turned on in the room, and the temperature is around 25 degrees, which is moderate, so if you have nothing to do, take off the quilt and let your feet breathe, which can speed up the healing of the surgical wound.”

"Okay okay."

Old Chen nodded, and asked again: "Is this nutritional therapy?"

"Yes."

Qiao Tan nodded, "Preparing patients with nutritious meals, teaching patients how to improve their bad work and rest, bad living habits, and some precautions for recuperation, etc., these are nutritional therapy."

"Understood. Do I need to avoid food? Doctor Liu doesn't seem to have any special instructions." Old Chen said again.

"There is no need to taboo, chicken, fish, meat, green onion, ginger, garlic, etc. can be eaten freely, but you should drink more tea to improve your metabolism. However, if your sleep is not good, you should stop drinking tea after dinner , to prevent excessive excitement from affecting sleep." Qiao Tan said.

"Remember, it's good if you don't eat too much, food is the most important thing for the people!" Old Chen said with a smile.

Qiao Tan relieved himself, and said again: "Although there is no need to restrict food, but don't be picky about food, and focus on choosing food that is good for recovery."

"Which foods are good for recovery?" Lao Chen asked curiously.

Qiao Tan said in detail: "The first is hawthorn. Hawthorn is sweet and sour food. Many people like to eat it. It is very helpful in promoting appetite. Moreover, hawthorn can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dilate blood vessels, and benefit The role of smooth blood circulation, so that it can also appropriately relieve the pain of patients with vasculitis."

"Hiss, I don't like it, it's too sour."

Old Chen swallowed, shrinking his neck and shaking his head.

Qiao Tan smiled, "If you are afraid of sourness, try cinnamon. Cinnamon is also called cinnamon. It is a hot food and has the functions of dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relieving pain, and warming the meridians. , Moreover, the cinnamon oil contained in cinnamon can excite the nerves and promote blood circulation, thereby promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, warming the meridians and dispersing cold, which is also good for vasculitis patients like you."

"Longan is fine, I like this."

Lao Chen licked his lips and continued to ask: "What else?"

Qiao Tan went on to say: "Swamp eel, it is a warm food, which can nourish deficiency, eliminate rheumatism, and strengthen muscles and bones. Patients with vasculitis often eat rice field eel, which not only can promote blood circulation, but also has the effect of relieving pain; mutton is also a warm food. , can warm and replenish qi and blood, and play the role of warming and warming yang.

There is also dog meat, but I personally do not recommend eating dog meat because it is not humane. "

"No! Never eat dog meat."

Old Chen patted the bed and said excitedly: "My family has three dogs, and I hate people who eat dog meat the most. Don't worry, Dr. Qiao, even if your father cuts off the soles of my feet, I will never eat dog meat. "

"Haha! Not at all, you can still eat rice field eel, mutton and cinnamon." Qiao Tan laughed loudly.

After finishing speaking, she said again: "It's too late to adjust the lunch meal. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare these three meals for you later."

Old Chen frowned, "But these three things are not cheap, is my hospitalization fee enough?"

"If it's not enough, report it to Dr. Liu!"

Qiao Tan gave him a narrow smile, and after explaining some precautions, he left in a hurry and went to the cafeteria to have lunch with Qin Xiao.

"Why are you here? So busy today?"

Finally waiting for her, Qin Xiao hurriedly got up and waved to her.

"Wait too long at Li Jing's place, wait, I have a phone call."

Before she finished speaking, Qiao Tan felt her phone vibrate. She took it out and saw that it was Uncle Bai's call. She was surprised and delighted, and immediately picked it up, "Grandpa Bai!"

"What? Hairy boy? Werewolf?"

Uncle Bai seemed to have something urgent to do with her, so after greeting her, he went straight to the point, and Qiao Tan couldn't help but feel weird after hearing this.
